Thank you everyone im sorry if they are noob questions but i cant figure them out :? .

Ok i think i can help

1. Um... I'm not sure abut this one. I've never tried it useing a altar, I use small arenas to pick heros.

2. Ok I can help here. Go to Advanced(It's right next to Tools on the top) and click on Gameplay Constants. Scroll down till you see Hero Maximum Level(It's about half way down) then just set it to what ever you want.

3. Ok here you will need a trigger.(I think not sure if thers a better way .
Events - Map Initialization
Conditions - None
Actions - Player - Set Player 1 current gold(or wood) to 1000(or what ever you want)

4. Need a trigger here to.
Events - Unit owned by Neutral Hostile Dies
Canditions - None
Actions - Wait 160 seconds
Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees.
Im not sure if this will work I've never tried it but give it a try and tell me if it worked.

5. Ok this is easy. Go into the Unit Editor pick the hero that don't work and scroll all the to the bottom. You should see 3 stats that say Stock Maximum, Stock Replenish Interval and Stock Start Delay. Set the first two to what ever you want them to be and set the last one to 0 that should fix it.

Well there you go. Plz tell me if something diddn't work.

ok thanks alot!!! i got everything working except #1. also the trigger for respawning works well but i have a question to add on to that... do i have to do every single unit one by one? :lol: it might take awhile cause i have alot of creeps in my map :roll: .

 

[Hippi_Hase]

event: A unit enters (region the hero spawns)
condition: food of owner of triggering unit =5 or 6 (don't know how you did it)
action: remove random unit in region of type wisp owned by player, owner of triggering unit.
(i hope it works, and i also hope you understand my bad english.. :roll:

 

[darthyoda]

That should be the only trigger you need. Because the trigger alwas should recreate the unit that died regardles of the unit type, as long as the unit that died was owned by Neutral Hostile, that way the trigger wont revive your heros if they die or somthing like that. It should work even if 2 or more creeps die at the same time . Just test the trigger by killing 2 or more diffrent types of creeps if you want but the trigger should work. Glad I could help .

 

[Eziekiel_Rage]

event: unit(generic) enters region

condition: trigerring unit type = hero

action: Remove unit from(units owned by (trigering player) of type wisp

that should work

for all players and only 1 trigga

hmm i still cant get #1 to work when my hero steps on the regions outside the altars nothing happens, no wisps dissapear. ive fiddled around with it for awhile and i cant get it. btw the map is made for 2 people so 2 wisps . here is what i did:


Events:
Unit - A unit enters Region 000 <gen>
Unit - A unit enters Region 001 <gen>
Unit - A unit enters Region 002 <gen>
Unit - A unit enters Region 003 <gen>
Unit - A unit enters Region 004 <gen>
(yes they all are where hero respawns)

Conditions:
Wisp 0000 <gen> Equal to Hero (wisp 0000 is player1's)

Actions:
Unit - Remove Wisp 0000 <gen> from the game


Player 2 trigger is same but they are all wisp 0001

Anyone know what im doing wrong?

 

[darthyoda]

Ok I think I can help with your 1st question now . The only problem is you will need 1 rigger for every hero . But it's not a long or hard trigger .

Events - Unit - A unit enters (Whatever the name of you region is)
Conditions - (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (Your Hero)
Actions - Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Owner of (Triggering unit)) of type Wisp) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Kill (Picked unit)

This should work but again I haven't tested it but tell me if it works because I might have to use it in my map

BTW you can copy and then paste the entire trigger after you make it once and just change the hero in the conditions part. That should help if you have alot of heros

Anyone know what im doing wrong?

please note what you wrote as a condition
i have no idea where you got Equal to Hero from, but i'm assuming its a variable

you are saying, only run this trigger if your wisp is the Hero

i highly doubt thats what you wanted

anyways, i can give you a very simple solution, it doesn't do anything fancy like i normally like to do, but

E:
unit enters region (entire map)
C:
unit classification is a hero == true //boolean comparison
A:
//then like the other guy said
pick all units of type wisp owned by owner of entering unit
-- remove picked unit
-- move entering unit to position of picked unit //ok so that just makes the wisp turn into the hero

 

[Hippi_Hase]

try it without the conditions, then it should work i think ... or try that:
event- a unit enters (herorespawn)
condition- owner of unit = player 1
action- remove whisp (the one of player1)

 

[darthyoda]

Raptor is right. I forgot about the Unit Classification condition I think you will only need that 1 trigger too. Sry I forgot I should have told you that trigger from the start

 

[1337 s0u1]

again... nothing happened heres what i have...

Events:
Unit - A unit enters Region 000 <gen>
Unit - A unit enters Region 001 <gen>
Unit - A unit enters Region 002 <gen>
Unit - A unit enters Region 003 <gen>
Unit - A unit enters Region 004 <gen>

Conditions:
(Wisp 0000 <gen> is A Hero) Equal to True

Actions:
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 1 (Red)) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Remove Wisp 0000 <gen> from the game

 

[darthyoda]

Ok I have copyed and pasted this trigger stright from the editor so just do what this says.

Events - Unit - A unit enters (Entire map)

Conditions - ((Entering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True

Actions - Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Owner of (Entering unit)) of type Wisp) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Kill (Picked unit)


I'm sure this will work.

again... nothing happened heres what i have...

Events:
Unit - A unit enters Region 000 <gen>
Unit - A unit enters Region 001 <gen>
Unit - A unit enters Region 002 <gen>
Unit - A unit enters Region 003 <gen>
Unit - A unit enters Region 004 <gen>

Conditions:
(Wisp 0000 <gen> is A Hero) Equal to True

Actions:
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Player 1 (Red)) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Remove Wisp 0000 <gen> from the game

alright, please analyse what you are trying to do

your condition is this
(Wisp 0000 <gen> is A Hero) Equal to True

think about this, you are saying
"Execute this trigger ONLY if the wisp is a hero"
now, obviously the wisp is not a hero, and never will be...

also, if you are just going to use this action
Unit - Remove Wisp 0000 <gen> from the game
you don't need to pick all players to do that, since its going to go

player 1, remove wisp 0000
player 2, remove wisp 0000, oh wait i already removed it, i do nothing now
player 3, remove wisp 0000, oh wait wisp 0000 doesn't exist
etc...
